One of our sponsors, CHIRP Radio, is hosting the 14th annual CHIRP Record Fair on Saturday April 9th at Plumbers Union Hall (1340 W Washington Blvd). It’s a music collector’s delight, with vinyl, CDs, DVDs, posters, and much more. CZF will be holding a small zine-making workshop in the upstairs balcony from 1-3 pm during the Fair—we’d love to see you there!

Join local zinesters and CZF on Friday February 5th at MCA Chicago for their after-hours celebration, MCA Prime Time. There will be a mix of live music, performance art, film screenings, and interactive programs–including zine creating!

This Saturday November 21st, CZF will be hosting a zine-making workshop at the Chicago Book Expo! Come join us at 2 pm to learn a bit of zine history then make your own! No skills required and all ages are welcome. You can find more information about all the events happening at the Chicago Book Expo on their website.

CZF is excited to participate in Learnapalooza this summer, a free festival for learning new skills and making new connections in Chicago. We’ll be sharing zine-making knowledge and generally spreading zine love in Wicker Park on August 15th and in Edgewater on September 12th. We hope you can join us!

Saturday June 27th will be the CZF Ice Cream Social, held at Comfort Station in Logan Square (Facebook event here). Swing by and give us $3-5 (sliding scale) and you’ll get a bowl of ice cream and plenty of toppings (sprinkles, anyone??). We’ll have a variety of flavors and vegan options, too. Join us at Comfort Station at 2579 N Milwaukee Ave from 11:30 am-1:30 pm to get your summer started off right and help us make some cash money for CZF 2016!

We’re also excited be a part of the wonderful Printers Ball in West Town that evening (Saturday June 27th)! We’ll be running a zine jam workshop from 5-6 pm and 7-8 pm—stop by the Spudnik Press Printshop and you’ll walk away with your very own zine! It’ll be in the West Town neighborhood at 1821 W Hubbard St. Printers Ball is always a great time; for more information on their extravaganza of artistic & literary events, visit printersball.org.
